An Oklahoma farmer owned business

klahoma Farm Bureau honored two leaders during its 65th annual meeting in Tulsa with Distinguished Service Awards.

The pair of awards is designed to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to agriculture and to Oklahoma Farm Bureau, according to Matt Wilson, executive director.

Alfalfa County’s Keith Kisling and Tillman County’s Merle Atkins were honored Nov. 11 in ceremonies before the convention body.

Kisling was presented with the Distinguished Service to Oklahoma Agriculture Award while Atkins received the Distinguished Service to Oklahoma Farm Bureau Award.

Kisling, 59, of Burlington, has served agriculture since he was just a youngster, first earning honors in high school as a member of the two-time national championship livestock judging team. He continued his success in livestock judging as a member of the 1967 national championship team from Northwestern Oklahoma State and the 1968 national championship team from Oklahoma State University.

O

Kisling grew up on his family’s farm. He graduated college and returned to his hometown of Burlington as the vocational agriculture teacher and also started farming with 80 acres of rented land.

After teaching four years, the opportunity arose to begin farming full time in 1975 and he and his wife, Marlene, purchased a retiring neighbor’s home and part of his machinery and rented his land. From that 80-acre start, the operation has blossomed into a large farm and ranch with three full time employees.

Despite leaving the teaching profession, Kisling has been dedicated to helping students in the agriculture field at the local, state and national levels by serving on the local and county fair boards, and judging youth contests, fairs and stock shows.

The FFA has recognized him with the State Honorary FFA Degree and the American Honorary FFA Degree.

Kisling has served on the Oklahoma Wheat Commission and U.S. Wheat Associates, traveling the world to convince other continued on pg 32

Major County couple named Farm Family of the Year ajor County’s Dennis and Elaine Flaming were named Oklahoma Farm Bureau Farm Family of the Year Nov. 10 at the 65th annual state convention in Tulsa.

A panel of judges selected the Fairview family from 11 entries in the annual contest, which honors the farm family who best represents farming and ranching and the spirit of Oklahoma agriculture.

The Flamings received use of a new Dodge pickup for a year, an expense-paid trip to the American Farm Bureau Federation meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, and other gifts in recognition of their accomplishments.

The couple has three daughters, Monica Hoover, 37, Melissa Ford, 36, and Meredith Cannady, 32.

Dennis, 63, and Elaine, 59, were married in 1966 and moved to the farm where he grew up. His parents left the farm to retire to the city life, and the newlyweds took over the dry land wheat farm under a share crop arrangement.

They were able to purchase the home place in 1974, thanks in part to the success of their custom harvesting business that joined the wheat belt tour from Texas to Idaho in 1967 and maintained a strong presence for the next 35 years.

While Dennis followed the wheat harvest, Elaine managed their farm with help from their daughters. Mother and daughters worked wheat ground after harvest, applied anhydrous for fall planting, cleaned seed wheat and took care of the cow-calf operation.

Today the Flaming’s operation consists of 450 acres of cultivated land devoted to the production of wheat and alfalfa plus 35 acres of improved Bermuda. They rent an additional 160 acres of wheat ground, and in 2001 planted a 4.5-acre vineyard and just opened their own winery, Plymouth Valley Cellars, this past September.

They also maintain a registered Shorthorn cattle herd consisting of 30 cow-calf pairs, 2 bulls, 10 heifers and 5 embryo cows. About 300 head of stockers are purchased annually

to put on winter wheat pasture.

“Being diversified has proven to be an advantage in our farming operation as usually one enterprise would assist or support another enterprise to improve the debt-toincome and increase net worth,” they said.

“Net worth with no debt is success.

“However, what is most important is that success is not only the result of what you have achieved at the end but as to how you achieved and pursued the journey reaching that success. That involves pursuing the best that we can do with what we have been dealt with including work ethics, respect for others and integrity.” he Flamings maintain intensive records on their farming operation. Records were maintained by hand before the introduction of computers. The couple completed all computer courses offered at the local Career Tech to improve on computing skills.

The couple maintains an active involvement in agricultural organizations and the community. Both have been involved in Farm Bureau a number of years, with service beginning on the state YF&R Committee.

T

Dennis served 9 years on the county board and Elaine served on the county Women’s Committee. They have participated in Farm Bureau’s annual Washington, D.C., Legislative Trip.

Dennis served on the local and state school boards and Farm Service Agency Advisory Board. Both have served on the board of the Fellowship Nursing Home and are active members of their church as well as organizations like the Chamber of Commerce and Oklahoma Grape Growers Association.

“Both of us have a rich agriculture heritage stemming from our grandparents emigrating from Russia bringing kernels of Turkey red wheat which has been a foundation of hard winter wheat throughout the Mid Plains.

“Together, with our parents, they instilled in us the importance of a strong faith in God, work ethics, endurance, courage, patience, long suffering and, most of all, the appreciation for the values of rural family life,” they said.

countries to purchase American wheat as well as hosting foreign trade teams in Oklahoma.

He is a charter member of the Value Added Partners, which helped open the

frozen dough plant in Alva.

Kisling’s advice has been sought by elected officials, like Sen. Tom Coburn who asked his advice on the confirmation of USDA Secretary Mike Johanns. He also has worked with state officials, most recently being asked his opinion of opening the border for Canadian beef importation.

Kisling is no stranger to honors and awards.

His family was Farm Bureau 2003 Farm Family of the Year. He received the Wheat Commission’s 2006 Staff of Life Award and is a member of the Governor’s Oklahoma Agriculture Hall of Fame search committee. tkins, who was born in Tillman County in 1928, has been a farmer since 1948 after serving in the U.S. Air Force. His farming career spans 62 years.

He and his wife, Ann, live on the family farm near Davidson where cotton and wheat and a cow-calf herd are the primary enterprises.

Atkins was elected to the Oklahoma Farm Bureau board of directors in 1997, and has served three three-year terms representing members from Beckham, Custer, Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa, Roger Mills, Tillman and Washita counties in southwestern Oklahoma.

He has been involved with Farm Bureau for a half century. Atkins, described as a “vigorous” promoter of Farm Bureau on the local level, has served on the Tillman County Farm Bureau board, the state Farm Bureau Resolutions Committee, Task Force 2000 and has traveled to Washington, D.C., many times with Farm Bureau.

He served 13 years on Cotton Incorporated, with three years service on the organization’s executive committee. He also has served on the National Cotton Council and its steering committee as well as the Tillman County Excise Board.

In addition, he has served his county on the Victory and Davidson School Boards, the Tillman Producers Coop and the county Historical Society board. He belongs to the First Baptist Church of Davidson.

Atkins has been honored by the 4-H Clubs in Tillman County with their Honorary 4-H member award.

He has two daughters, Dana and Kay Atkins. Both daughters live in Tillman County and farm.

Monte and Danielle Tucker win Achievement Award eckham County’s Monte and Danielle Tucker were named Oklahoma Farm Bureau YF&R Achievement Award winner Nov. 10 at the 65th annual convention in Tulsa.

The YF&R Achievement Award honors the state’s top young farmer or farm family for their achievements in the farming business and their leadership in the agricultural community. A panel of judges selected the Sweetwater couple for the award.

They received an expense-paid trip to the 2007 American Farm Bureau convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, to represent Oklahoma in the national contest where they will compete for Dodge pickups and Arctic Cat fourwheelers. As the Oklahoma winner, the Tuckers received a year’s use of a Dodge pickup and the use of a Kubota tractor along with other prizes.

B

onte, 31, and Danielle, 33, have a 23month-old son, Mason.

They own and rent some 1,500 acres, with the main focus of the operation being stocker cattle and a commercial cow-calf herd. They do grow wheat, but it is harvested by their cattle rather than combines.

Monte, who has a bachelor of science in animal science from Oklahoma State University, also operates an auction and real estate business. It has been scaled back in recent years to focus more on the farm.

Monte and Danielle also sell and install livestock water tanks made from used heavy equipment tires. The recent completion of a cattle processing center on their land has allowed them not only to tend their own animals but provide custom processing for other area ranchers.

They have been farming and ranching for about nine years. While they consider themselves part of a family farm, their operation is entirely independent from Monte’s parents and grandparents.

Monte’s grandfather gave him his first 10 heifers upon his return to the farm.

Those heifers were the start of the couple’s cattle herd.

M

In 2001, a year before Monte and Danielle wed, the neighbors that owned 160 acres adjacent to family land announced they were moving. Their land and home was for sale – but only to Monte and Danielle. It took more than a year for them to get a loan funded, but the neighbors stood firm.

“Without that neighbor’s desire for us to have the land and willingness to wait 13 months until the loan was funded, we would not have the operation we have now,” they said.

Since acquiring that original 160 acres, they have expanded with the purchase of more cattle and machinery as well as renting additional land. anielle, who has a bachelor of science degree and master of ag education degree from Oklahoma State University, also works full time as a sales representative for an office equipment and communications company.

D

A boom in oil exploration in the area has pushed land values upwards. They said that event is making it “almost impossible” to purchase more land strictly for agricultural purposes.

They are countering that by leasing land to a neighbor who has a lodge and guides hunts.

They hope to develop more agri-tourism opportunities for hunting, camping and wildlife watching.

Despite busy schedules, Monte and Danielle are active in Farm Bureau. He’s been on the Beckham County board five years and served four years as president. They have served five years as co-chairs of the county YF&R Committee and have been on the state YF&R Committee for six years. They also belong to the county Cattlemen’s Association.

Ryan and Marcy Luter win Excellence in Agriculture Award

Bolay wins Discussion Meet

oble County’s Ryan and Marcy Luter were recognized with Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s YF&R Excellence in Agriculture Award Nov. 10 at the 65th annual convention in Tulsa.

The award recognizes successful young people 35 or younger who are involved in farming but whose primary occupations are not farming or owning an agricultural business. The award is based on their involvement in agriculture and participation in Oklahoma Farm Bureau and other community organizations.

The Luters received a Polaris four-wheeler ATV courtesy of Farm Credit plus a trip to the AFBF convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, to represent Oklahoma in the national contest.

The couple resides in Morrison. After completing bachelor and master degrees at Oklahoma State University, Ryan now works for BancFirst in Stillwater as a loan officer trainee. Marcy, who also is an OSU graduate, serves as the Hire OSU Grads team manager in the OSU Career Services offices.

Both recorded exemplary college careers.

Ryan, 26, was a 2000 University Top Ten Freshman Man and Marcy, 24, was a 2001 University Top Ten Freshman Woman. They also both served on the President’s Leadership Council and were members of the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity, which recognizes the top 10 percent of a university class.

The Luters own a small herd of commercial cattle and plan to expand the herd as additional property becomes available.

They currently serve as chairmen of the Noble County YF&R Committee, which they were instrumental in organizing.

“Since both our families are closely involved with agriculture, we are excited to build our

ason Bolay, representing Noble County Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers, captured the 2006 Discussion Meet title during the 65th annual Oklahoma Farm Bureau convention in Tulsa Nov. 10.

Bolay, a student at Oklahoma State University, advanced through three preliminary rounds of the Discussion Meet and earned his way to the finals.

The YF&R Discussion Meet is a panel-type discussion in which young farmers and ranchers are judged on their ability to express ideas and opinions on the hottest issues in agriculture.

Participants attempt to influence each other by posing and answering questions. The ultimate goal is to reach a solution to a stated problem facing agriculture.

He won the use of a new Dodge pickup for year plus a trip to the American Farm Bureau Discussion Meet in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he will compete in the national contest in January.

own operation. Currently we are seeking additional grassland for grazing and hay production with the intent to expand our involvement in production agriculture,” they said. heir allegiance to agriculture was strengthened during their college careers when both served on the OSU Ag Ambassador team, which recruited high school students to attend college and the agricultural industry as a viable choice for a college major and career.

They worked to expand the definition of agriculture in the minds of urban and rural Americans, and said “this remains a key goal in both of our careers.”

Despite increasing input and land costs, the Luters said they believe agriculture remains the “greatest industry with which we can be involved.

“Agriculture provides the opportunity to continue ancestral traditions, work with the land, enjoy the wonder of God’s creation, and share our supper with the world. It is for these reasons that we work hard every day to promote agriculture, increase our involvement in production, and be a part of the solution to the issues our industry faces.”
